ISSUE ZERO:ChemicalRobotiks:Slumdog review

Well, I just finished watching this flick and was pretty pleasantly surprised.

It's the story of a young boy, born and raised in the Mumbai slums who later on becomes a contestant on who wants to be a millionaire. Everyone is puzzled at how an uneducated kid from the slums could be doing so well on the game show and speculations begin to surround him as people believe he is either cheating or the show is rigged.

The film tells the boys story though each of the questions asked by the host, as it cuts away to show the story behind how he knows the answer. After the first question the audience knows he has had a hard life.

When I left the theater I though the film was only OK but as I began to think about it I actually really liked it. The cinematography is excellent and has long sweeping shot of the slums as well as rich imagery of the streets and people. All of this is complimented by one of the best soundtracks I have heard in a movie for some time.
-stick around for the credits. There is an awesome Bollywood dance routine

All and all, I would give this movie 3.5/5
